Too much time without updates

Friday, march the 13th 2015 my virtual private server was under hacker attack that have exploited a severe vulnerability of the linux distribution the VPS was running on. The bug was so serious that access via console was limited to a few operations but not backupping or tranferring files to other servers. I finally had to format and reinstall everything from scratch.

It 's been a long long time from the latest updates. There have been important news among some basic-like languages that I would like to share with you. I need to catch up quickly. Thanks to all of you who keep sending me any news about basics and add important remarks throught the comments. February 2015.

Basics' life & death

Upon 105 basic-like languages listed, 36 are unfortunately discontinued but at least 48 are currently developed. Sorrowfully we don't have any recent news about 13 of them. But let's face it: 24 are considered valuables and 73 are free!
